In my past visits to Singapore, I spent most of my time seeing the sites and shopping.
Eating was not a planned event, so my companions and I just ate where it was convenient wherever we were at meal times.
All my previous Singapore eating experiences have been excellent albeit most were geared toward the tourist market. But even if you are on a budget, you have to plan in splurging on at least one meal and eat at local favorites on your next visit.
High Tea at the Marriott Tang Plaza
The Marriott Hotel chain is famous for serving excellent food, which is why it is not surprising that Singaporeans are willing to line up for the High Tea Buffet at the Marriott Hotel Tang Plaza on Orchard Road. At around SGD$45 per person, the sumptuous buffet served from 3:00-5:00 PM every day is a true bargain, especially if you compare it to the dinner buffet which costs more than SGD$100 per person.
Even if all you eat at the buffet are the cold prawns, it will be well worth the price. There is a very varied selection of Asian, American and European cuisine, and the dessert display is nothing to sneeze at either.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
